During cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide. Where in the cell does this reaction take place?

• in the mitochondria

• in the nucleus

• in the cytoplasm

• in the chloroplasts

Which statement best summarizes what happens to energy in an ecosystem when it reaches the top of the food chain?

• The flow of energy stops when the top predator dies.

• The flow of energy stops when a secondary predator decomposes.

• The energy flows in the opposite direction, back down the food chain.

• The energy is transferred to the soil and recycled back to the producers.
